Was a great arvo surfing with young Rachel at the @mauliolafoundation event!! Thanks for making me smile little miss and was amazing watching you improve on every wave!! Also thanks @nathanhedgehog @surfermags and Hans for inviting me down! @andrewshield

Sometimes things are out of your powers. I came through a chandelier and couldn't see. When I opened my eyes this was where I was! It was too perfect not to share even though I was shattered I wasn't in it! @kainswift

If you're in Coolangatta on the weekend come down to Rainbow Surf Club at 4pm and help raise money for my mate Damo. There will be a cover charge that goes into a lucky door prize plus loads of items to be auctioned. He's has an unrecognisable disease and has lost the use of the muscles in his arms. He has a young family and needs help to provide for them whilst he gets the tests he needs to determine what he has. For all the friends out there he is @shaggamang brother. If you can't make it and wish to donate here is the link http://fnd.us/c/1wVM9/sh/d31p67 THANKYOU @the.cooly.rat

Happy to make it through another heat at the #australianopenofsurfing about half a second after this shot I got absolutely smashed. The lip landed on me and pushed me through my board straight into the sand. I creased my board and smashed the rail too. Was quite funny because 10 minutes earlier I told @kingteeth23 that the waves felt so weak out there haha. @surfing_nsw

This was a really fun day @mauliolafoundation in Haleiwa. Taking young kids that suffer from CF surfing is such a humbling experience and to see the smiles on their faces is incredible. Here I share a wave with @gavinbeschen808 and @surfermags thanks for having me along team!! @kaladacaptain @whoisjob

Had a great camp with some of the best up and coming juniors in Australia. Got amazing waves and all were ripping. Stay tuned for more photos @ripcurl_aus and a huge thanks to @creaturesofleisure @fcs_surf @vertraoz @skullcandyoz @bluedinosaurbars for hooking them all up with great products @trentmitchellphoto

So sad to hear the news of Ricardo Dos Santos passing. Prayers and thoughts to his family. I didn't know him really well but he was always kind enough to say hi when ever we saw each other. Loved big tubes and rode them extremely well. May he Rest In Peace.

So awesome to see former World Women's champion @smulanovich giving back to the kids!! Today she launched @sofiaproyecto that gives 10 kids from Peru the opportunity to chase their dream of becoming professional surfers under her guidance. Congrats Sofia!! Go check it out!!

Yesterday was epic for the finals of the National #GromSearch finals at North Narrabeen. This is Jalessa Vincent (Coolum QLD ) and Kael Walsh (yallingup WA) 16s n under winners. These two and everyone else were ripping in the great waves on offer. Thanks again for entertaining me all day groms!! @ripcurl_aus
